The Fort Walton Beach Police Department holds two evenings of live music, food trucks, holiday crafts, small business vendors and raffles. Santa takes family photos and a Christmas village built from decorated recycled pallets is on display. Admission is free, and a new unwrapped toy or a pet food donation earns raffle tickets. Donations go to Emerald Coast Toys for Tots and the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society.

What we checked, and when

The City of Fort Walton Beach announcement states that admission is free.
The Rigdon Center was formerly the NWF Fairgrounds, so older maps may use that name.
